The EV BMW 3-Series you can’t buy - BMW I3 eDrive 35L

Its rare we drive a legacy automakers Chinese only offering - but that's what we have today - the BMW I3 eDrive 35L and find out that Chinese automakers can also learn a lot from legacy auto.

That carbon fibre on the wheel and the arm rest has to go. Sir, this is not a Halfords.

[@jeffreyherba8435]

I would like to buy it just because it doesn't have a button to close the boot!

[@experimental_av]

Ironic that they don't bring it to other markets given the success of the original i3

Why can’t BMW sell this EV world wide?

[@StevenMillward]

seen quite a few of these in China. it's selling fairly well compared to other foreign EVs that don't have a Tesla badge - but that's a very very low bar. BMW has the right idea with this BMW i3 eDrive and the iX3, but the prices are still too high.

It's indeed "meh", feels too old, and costs too much. In a world without alternatives though, it's pretty good.

It's not only sold in China. It's sold in Laos, Cambodia, Egypt and Uzbekistan. Maybe other places too but definitely in these places.

I've been to China a number of times, always wanted to drive there but my Chinese friends tell me not to because I will get accident scammed

[@pingqiu7318]

It's sold at $22,000 in China

If you just want to lower your CO2 statistics, that's what you end up with. Just average.

This is what BMW should do in Europe with series years ago😊❤❤

Great Review Elliot - nice to say a good comparison of European and Chinese EVs and what consumers in each market are after. Keep em coming!

[@stephenodonohue9876]

Hey Richard, love the channel. I think you meant the BMW is in the Top 10% in driving. If it's in the Top 90%... then it could be as low as the 90th out of a hundred cars.

[@JonathanPorterfield]

Great review Elliot , what are BMW thinking ? This would sell sell sell in the UK (with CCS of course ) if it was priced right.

I find myself using the driving aids on long highway journeys a lot... you should include lane centering & adaptive cruise control in your checkliist of things tot try.

Looks better than the i4. I would buy a BMW i3 Touring, if available...
